Also known as: Super Vinci
Overview
The Benelli Super Vinci is an Italian inertia-driven semi-automatic shotgun introduced in 2011 as the 3.5-inch Magnum evolution of the modular Vinci platform. Chambered in 12 gauge and able to cycle everything from light 2.75-inch target loads to the most powerful 3.5-inch Magnum waterfowl shells, it uses Benelli's In-Line Inertia Driven action and a three-module design (barrel/receiver, trigger group/forearm, and QuadraFit buttstock) that assembles and disassembles without tools. Its ComforTech Plus stock with recoil-absorbing chevrons makes it one of the softest-shooting magnum autoloaders on the market.

Background
The Super Vinci took Benelli's radically modular Vinci design — which assembles from three snap-together components — and scaled it up to handle 3.5-inch Super Magnum shells, marketed as the lightest and softest-kicking 3.5-inch autoloader in the world for waterfowl hunters.
